Leiber YeaFi® products combine brewers’ yeast benefits with the functional<br />
properties of fibers. In practical use in dry kibbles and vegan or vegetarian<br />
applications a positive impact on coloring, smell and texturization were seen.<br />
Fiber content is important also from an economic point of view. Pet food products<br />
compete more and more often with food products for natural fiber sources which<br />
directly increases the price of the pure natural fiber ingredients.<br />

Decreasing the impact on the environment is a hot topic, no<br />
less so than in the pet food industry, especially as the number<br />
of individual pets is still continuing to grow. This explains<br />
the growing market demand for trends like natural, organic,<br />
vegetarian or even vegan pet food. Ultimately, as the pet food<br />
industry, it is important for us to find sustainable alternatives<br />
to animal-derived ingredients for pet food. The full story is on<br />
page 22.<br />
Metallic impurities jeopardize the integrity of pet food,<br />
necessitating the rejection of affected batches. These<br />
contaminants can originate from various sources, including<br />
transportation vehicles used for product delivery. Internal<br />
contamination may occur during processing, grinding, or<br />
abrasion within the manufacturing plant. The application of<br />
magnetic separation equipment proves instrumental in reducing<br />
ferrous metal contamination issues. See page 30 for more.<br />
